While I agree that it may very much amount is 'miscommunication'. You would think - that a company which proud itself on having the 'best, brightest and smartest' would do its own due diligence before openly starting a significant legal battle with Microsoft - a company renown for suing everyone in existence - and complaining to the government that it's basically being anti-competitive. It's not about rational intent - it's about suing the government over alleged anti-competitive behavior only to not have certification in the first place. Whether it's a miscommunication or something else - the fact that it appears - prima facie - a complete ass up by Google is humorous. I say humorous only in the sense that it loathes Microsoft with all it's being - and currently it's eating straight up fail cake.
